LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 88, as amended, Lieu. Pupil instruction: Internet
safety resources. Oil and gas leases: damages.
Existing law regulates oil and gas leases on public lands.
This bill would preclude liability of a public entity for damages
for any lost profits with respect to an oil and gas lease on land
located in a coastal zone beyond the date of enactment of a valid
initiative that invalidates the oil and gas lease.
The bill would specify that its provisions apply to contracts
entered into before, on, or after its effective date, and to causes
of action that accrued prior to its effective date, except as
specified.
Existing law prescribes various matters to be included in the
adopted course of study at the appropriate elementary and secondary
grade levels.
This bill would require the State Department of Education to work
with the Department of Consumer Affairs to ensure that, at a minimum,
the resources included in the California Cyber Safety Resource
Center encompass information about specified subjects on Internet
safety. The bill would also require the State Department of Education
to distribute, and make available on its Internet Web site, the list
of Internet safety resources developed in concert with the
Department of Consumer Affairs to local educational agencies. A local
educational agency would be authorized to incorporate the resources
into the agency's existing curricula. The State Department of
Education would be required to perform the specified duties once
every 3 years.
